Vonda Shepard - Cross To Bear lyrics

you ran away with your conscience dear there was a red flag waving in my ear saying 'stay away you've got something to fear' well why did i not choose to hear well i am through with suffering gonna make better choices i don't need no wedding ring i can sing i can dance but i can't make thus feeling cease cause deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and we all got our cross to bear our star of david our dreadlocked hair and oh yeah baby i still care and if you need some help you know i'll always be there well it's been a strange year you've been a very bad dog as my fire went out you'd put on another log but it was worth never having any peace and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease and repeat chorus some nights i thought i'd cry forever i'd wish him away and then i'd turn into a beggar but it was worth always scraping my knees and deep in my soul you left a permanent crease i wear my heart like a wrinkle on my sleeve and i've got the aching love that only you can relieve but i'm not afraid to go down with a sinking friend i'm gonna live out my dreams even if they k** me in the end repeat chorus
